GeoGraphs announces the release of GeoFlash a Macromedia Flash based GIS to publish Maps without a Map Server
North Vancouver, BC--GeoGraphs Systems Corporation announces the release of GeoFlash. A Macromedia Flash based GIS Software that works inside almost every Internet browser.
Traditionally Internet Mapping is expensive, slow, and complicated. Most of the Internet Mapping System depends heavily on Map Server Model, where a server convert a portion of a Map to a raster image, and send it to the client computer. The displayed map is stripped from intelligence, and allows for limited interactivity. GeoFlash is a Map Publishing Tool that integrates Intelligent, eye-pleasing Maps into Internet Applications. The new Software does not require a Map Server to publish Maps. Geo-Colors Lite exports Shape, MID/MIF, or apr Project Documents to vector binary compact Flash Format of Macromedia, ready to Internet Publishing.
GeoFlash is an innovative solution to enter in the realm of Flash-based technologies where maps truly become interactive, eyes pleasing without loosing any of their original attributes or accuracy. The system is based on a C++ API that translates the user’s Maps to a multiple SWF Files, and one or two HTML. Ready to link to any Web Page.
The software is not addressed only to the GIS/IT professionals only, but to any one whom have some knowledge of Macromedia Flash, and or HTML. This by itself will open the GIS Market to new users and clients.
“By eliminating the Map server from our Model, we are opening Intelligent Map Publishing to almost all the Internet Community. Our goal is to put intelligent, interactive, colorful, and eyes pleasing maps in almost every Web Site. We have started with Geo-Colors, which is based on SVG. But the Flash Technology offers leaner code, smaller file, and much faster download, and execution time.”
declared Yosri Diab, CTO and founder of GeoGraphs Corp. The system is data driven; it converts a Mapping File, to a full Internet system, ready for distribution to clients, or to publish as part of the web site of the organization. The translated system is not static one, but it comes equipped with different functions and utilities, to zoom, pan, edit cartographic elements and texts. As for analyses, and data visualization the system is delivered with functions and routines for regular queries, tool tips info, thematic analyses, and Searching. It is a Geographic Information System inside an Internet browser.
The system is a breakthrough, as it permits regular user and developer to integrate mapping into their Internet applications with ease and simplicity. There is no royalties, or fees charged more than the price of the software. A server version will be available soon.
